About Us
In 2011, Amy Mucha’s mother-in-law bought her a cake pop recipe book, simply because the book contained instructions to make a koala cake pop (if you know Amy, you know that she’s obsessed with koalas). The koala cake pops were the starting point of making cake pops for friends and family for fun. However, when her kids Peter, Charlie, and Daisy (the company’s namesake) came around, the cake pop hobby got pushed to the back burner.
Fast forward to 2016, and Amy pulled cake popping out of her back pocket to make preschool teacher gifts. They were so well received that some friends suggested she sell them, and that’s when the cake pop ball seriously got rolling (pun intended).
In the spring of 2018, Amy and one of her current high school math students sat down one evening, decided to make a logo and social media pages for Daisy Pops. For a couple years, Amy continued teaching high school math at Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy, raising her three kiddos, making cake pops as a side hustle, and rolling her eyes at people whenever they would ask "Are you going to quit teaching to do cake popping?"
But then in 2020 Covid came and simultaneously 1) stripped away the relational parts of teaching that she loved and 2) made individually wrapped treats very POPular. After many months of discussions, tears, and prayers, Amy made the tough decision to retire from teaching in May 2021 and take on full time cake popping--and no regrets so far!
In April 2023, we finally had our grand opening for our first storefront in Kent, Ohio! We are open Monday through Saturday, 11am till 7pm, with a pop-squad ready to help. Not only can you come purchase pops here, but you can also host POPtacular parties in our bakery.
The goal of Daisy Pops is to add a little extra joy to our customers' days one cake pop at a time, so seeing the smiles on people's faces after enjoying a pop is the sweetest reward. We’re always dreaming up new creations, so make sure to sign up for our What’s Popping e-newsletter at the bottom of this page!
